Fletch is out. After spending three years, eight months and
four days at Her Majesty's pleasure, the old lag is out
of Slade Prison on parole. However, life on the outside is
not going to be easy - he even finds Mr McKay in the
buffet car of his train home. Will his carefully buried
nest egg still be there? Will he be able to manipulate
his family (including a 17-year old son played by Nicholas
Lyndhurst) as easily as the gullible Slade Prison lags?
Will he welcome old cell-mate, Lenny Godber, now a
long-distance lorry driver dating his daughter Ingrid?
Or will the delights of freedom make him yearn for
the company of thieves, fraudsters and even screws?
